What drylining work do you do in Nottingham?
Across Nottingham (NG1) it is mostly student accommodation, retail and leisure, healthcare and offices, with partitions, SFS, wall linings, ceilings, fire stopping and plastering all covered by the same company. Nottingham is a large fit out market, where the packages are bigger, the programmes are tighter and the site is usually a city centre building with restricted deliveries and no room to store board. Every package is priced off the drawings and the programme, free of charge.
Do you charge extra to work in Nottingham?
No. Nottingham is around 34 miles out, which is a normal run for us. Travel is priced into the package rather than added on top, and on a multi week scheme the team is on site for the duration.
Have you worked in Nottingham before?
Nottingham is one of the largest student accommodation markets in the country, and those blocks are a full drylining package floor after floor, with the rated walls and the fire stopping through them from one contractor. If your scheme is near Island Quarter, send the drawings across and we will tell you what the building type usually means for the drylining package before anyone prices it.
Does the type of building in Nottingham change how the package runs?
Yes, and in Nottingham it is mostly about logistics. City centre sites have booked delivery slots, no storage and a lift or a stair for the board, so the package is sequenced floor by floor with the material called off to match, rather than delivered in one drop that blocks the site.
Can you do the fire stopping in Nottingham as well as the drylining?
Yes. The passive fire work is carried out by RWS Contracts Ltd, the group's IFC certificated fire division, which shares the same office and management team. On schemes in Nottingham the rated walls, the ceilings and the fire stopping through them can be let as one package with one point of responsibility.
How quickly could you start a job in Nottingham?
Nottingham is about 34 miles from the Rotherham yard, so a site visit is normally arranged within a week or two. Starting the works depends on the current contracts, and we would rather give you a real date against your programme than an optimistic one.
